This work centered on dependency management and front-end development, using JavaScript and TypeScript to ensure a smooth, non-breaking upgrade path. By aligning the project with the current UI library ecosystem, Matthew reduced future upgrade effort and improved compatibility with evolving standards. The approach maintained CI and build stability, minimizing risk while enabling access to new UI features.
